Despite what you’ve been told,
treatment IS possible!
What you're experiencing is more than just typical marriage problems.
Find out what's really happening in your relationship.
Since 2010, Marriage Recovery Center specializes in assessment and treatment
for emotional abuse and complex relationship dynamics.
You’ve been to counseling; you’ve read the books; you went to the marriage retreat. So why are you still stuck in the same pattern of blame, defensiveness, hurt and resentment?
You never dealt with the real issues.
Unfortunately, few counselors are trained to recognize and treat the deeper, complex issues of power & control, emotional abuse, emotional immaturity, accountability and emotional safety.
Until these patterns are dealt with, communication tools simply will not help.
Get clarity about the real issues that are causing your relationship distress.
Developed by Dr. Hawkins and Dr. Hudson, the Relationship Dynamics Assessment™ is a free screening tool that measures your relationship health across seven domains.
Is it communication issues, or something more serious? Are you dealing with emotional immaturity, or emotional abuse? Is there a lack of emotional safety in your relationship? Find out the answers to these questions and more.
Marriage Recovery Center helps individuals and couples recognize and move beyond destructive patterns that prevent them from allowing true healing to take place.
The Comprehensive Healing Pathway is the culmination of Dr. Hawkins’ decades long career dedicated to cracking the code when it comes to helping high conflict couples who have “tried everything.”
